An Actress Moves On, Or Tries To

First I wish to say that Heath's death was tragic and I have no doubt that it did affect Michelle and their daughter. That being said I think that it also needs to be said that Ms Williams had kicked Heath out of their home and her life long before his death and that in doing so she was already moving on. While I have no doubt his passing was a very harsh blow, they were no longer a couple, and it was at her choosing. That she began a relationship with a man who was known to party, engaged in unprotected sex which resulted in their beautiful daughter and then faulted him for being who he was, a fun loving party guy is hypocritical. She got into that relationship with her eyes wide open. You should not profess to love someone and then try to change them. While it would have been nice if he decided to stop partying after Mathilda was born, it was HIS choice and he did not. Perhaps they should have talked about this before becoming parents. You cannot expect someone to agree with your choices in life simply because you are parents together and you think they are the right choices (even if they are the right choices.) I do genuinely feel badly that she lost the father of her daughter and that Mathilda will not grow up knowing him, but I am tired of reading this story as if they were living together as a couple. She had walked away from him long before his death, and some articles suggest she had already been on a few dates.

Its good to wake up and read such an article. Whoever wrote this story did it will style and dignity. Michelle- you should not have to give up something that you love to do; you have lost so much already, Hopefully, in the future, there will be new laws so that the paparazzi will stop harrassing people. Life is measured on how we deal with our pain. If everything was perfect, then how would we know it was...? The hearts of many fans are with you.

I too suddenly lost someone I loved very deeply. It has been three years and I agree with Ms. Williams that it some ways it only gets more difficult. While I don't yet have all the answers as to how to deal with grief best, someone once told me that when you walk with purpose, you collide with destiny. That's how I live my life now. Ms. Williams, walk with purpose. If it is acting and being a mom, then be encouraged to continue on. You and I both will survive, we will be happy again. There is no other option.

I'm also a huge fan ...
I only met him too late: (
I find that terrible ... after the dark knight, I have read everything about him, now knows a lot about him
I think it's just a pity that such a man had to go ... he was one of the carpet on the left ...
I got me a lot of old interviews with him, as you can see what a great man he was
unique ..
He was also a great father I have pictures of him and matilda seen ... as the two through the city, the two were laughing and had fun
just terrible that he had to go and matilda probably no longer have their own memories
will - but I am sure that Michelle will ensure they will ensure the best memories matilda will have to heath
I am sure
Heath was just great: (
I had after the dark kight so often cry .. I have viewed videos .. completely wanted to know everything about him
he was different: (
a great loss that he had to go
Heath and Michelle were the perfect couple ... then when I learned that they have been separated for more .. oh my god it was horrible, the images of the two
and the two videos were so in love

But my heath .. in an interview that he was ready to die, because he lives next matilda
and does he really
michelle said matilda represents 2 steps ... heath reflected every day in matilda
heath we will never forget

and I really think ... michelle has it deserves to be happy again ... with spike and matilda

I wish everything good

~wow, it has been weeks since I have cried over Heath's death, until now-I guess you could say I was a fan from a distance-'The Patriot' was the first movie I watched him in-then watched him in a handful of others, but did not follow his career too closely, but was so looking forward to seeing him as the Joker in 'The Dark Knight'-sadly I had not even watched 'Broke Back Mountain' until after his death-I am still trying to understand why his death has affected me so much when I did not even know him, nor did I feel like I knew him just because I read everything I could about him when he was alive, because I did not-there is no way in the world I could ever know how Michelle feels, but I am thinking that at times it has to be absolutely terrible-then when you add the hounding of the paparazzi to the mix that only makes everything harder-I wish everyone would just leave her & Matilda alone-I would hate to see her leave the movie industry, but if that is what it takes for her to have somewhat of a normal life with her Daughter, then she should go, never look back, & know that she did the right thing~

Michelle Williams has been one of my favorite actresses for years and I am a 45 year old woman. I can feel the kindness in her eyes . There is so much love in the world. Michelle will find more to share with Matilda Love and luck from a forever fan.

Ms. Williams, it maded me cry just to read how much sadness you are going through. My daughter's father die when she was 6 years old and we have NEVER gotten over it and maybe never will. I can't even THINK about it, so I push it away and push it down. Funny thing is, my doughter is now 16 and lOVED Heath and his movies. His picture is in her room and when he died, I think she grieved for Mathilda, too. (Mathilda is her all time favorite movie---weird how lives parallel and cross. Hang in there--I don't know if it ever gets easier or better, but placing faith in God helps. Making peace with yourself helps,too---though that may seem like another burden right now. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your daughter. We miss Heath as well and will never forget him or you. Good luck and God bless you---L Roche/Florida

Michelle has earned it by restless of paparazzis to have
the separation of heath was very bad for them ...
and the death worse
and through this interview, we know ... that it still has great difficulty
precisely because the paparazzis

I myself am a big fan of German heath and matilda michelle ...
I always look forward to new pictures of Michelle and Matilda ...
but I prefer to avoid ...
All harms the two ... and it really does nothing to us what the two make
...
IT IS YOUR LIFE ... not of our
that's enough ...
they deserve to be happy ... and the rest of paparazzis to have

nevertheless, she participated in interviews .. enough private and answered questions ...

The two can not even restless by the city go ... drink coffee ... or have fun

and hope that the 3 get more privacy
Heath Ledger and I wish to be peace in the sky above

This realy touched me specifically because he could have b een saved from his adiction..no one is independent, we have to pay close attention look around you there may be someone seeking help...and you have to pay close attention to see that. Other wise they may fall deep into thier own distruction and you may lose them. Health Ledger needed help, poor guy did'nt cry out for help.

Everyone has the right to grieve, no matter how big or small the loss. Who are any of us to belittle the death of a loved one, just because they happen to be a celebrity? What arrogance. All of us will face death sooner or later. And who knows if we'll be the one grieving or being grieved? What I do know is, when it happens, it should touch you, it should change you forever. And not because it causes you to reflect on Africa (how pretentious!) but because this is life. We're all heading in one direction, to one end. And that's a pretty terrifying unknown for any of us to grapple with.

Great article about a great topic, it truely makes me think about how many things we as people take for granted. loss of family, friends etc. I have lost 9 friends in the past year to cancer, accidents, suicide all of whom were great people in their own ways young and old it always hurts to lose someone you love even at 18 I know that. At 18 my belief is this, we need to care, not only for the people in other countries dealing with issues but with our own as well. This article is about what is right for her and not anyone else and she is willing to take even more loss with just leaving her career to get away on top of everything she has dealt with respect her and her daughter just as you would like to in your own times of need or as you would of any other country and their matters. the fact of the matter is, as a human being you need to have compassion for anyone and their problems that they deal with and look through their shoes.

You know what, sure it is sad that there are people dying all over the world. And it is sad that lie is generally a crapstorm sprinkled with sporatic spurts of happiness. But guess what, you cant save everyone on your own, and you cant get people to care about the people in africa if you dont care about the people at home. No, celebrity should not elevate the value of anyones life. However, it doesnt make them any less relevant than people dying on another continent. If you truly want to raise awareness of deficiencies of the human condition, then microcosms like these which people in America can actually identify with need to be published and shared as much as possible. Most people dont care about anything that doesnt immediately affect them, and youre trying to make them care about people in Africa and Kuwait and India and China, which hardly anyone in America can even remotely relate to or identify with. Have you been to a warzone? Have you been in a village broken by disease, or a own without a clean water supply? Have you spent much time among African militant groups? Honestly, you would be much better served educating others on things you are actually educated about.. No, reading the New York Times, and watching CNN does not count. If this article were about Tom' Cruise's latest haircut, you might have a case. Nothing against you, I share your distaste for the prevailant and ignorant obsession with popular culture, but try and remember if you really want to make a difference, you will get much further without discounting the value of sincere human loss and emotion.

It's sad that Matilda has to grow up without knowing her fabulous father, a man she looks so much like, and someone else to protect her. Being the mother of a young child is hard enough without constantly having to plan to avoid aggressive photographers. There should be a law against the harrassment, particularly when the object is a baby or child.

Having been through a tragic loss myself I think what she said about grief is exactly true. I feel her pain so much. It sounds like she will take care of herself and her daughter no matter what. She is a very smart woman. No acting role will ever be worth their happiness.
